Tens of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators returned to the streets of Hong Kong, defying a threat from local authorities, riot-ready Chinese People's Armed Police (PAP) troops massed just a few kilometers away, and a drenching rain.  This time, clashes with police were kept at a minimum for fear of PAP reprisals, and demonstrators wore both masks and eye-patches in solidarity with the female protester who lost an eye to a police projectile a week ago.  Demonstrators are demanding democratic elections, an investigation of police use of force, and the resignation of Hong Kong's chief executive Carrie Lam whom they consider a tool of the Beijing government.

The so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing and attack at a wedding reception in Kabul, Afghanistan.  Officials say the death toll was at least 63 lives lost and more than 180 injured.  The target was a wedding hall in the heart of the Shiite Hazara minority community.  The Taliban, despite a history of attacking and abusing the Hazara, condemned the attack.

The UK has stripped British citizenship from "Jihadi Jack" Letts, a British-Canadian dual national who fled his parents' home in Oxfordshire six years ago to join IS in Syria.  The decision was made by Theresa May as she prepared to leave the UK PM's office a few weeks ago.  But this move has sparked outrage in Ottawa - Canadian officials believe that Letts has no to no connections to the country, save for his UK-based Canadian father, and they don't believe that Canada should assume responsibility for the confessed terrorist.  

Argentina's economy minister Nicolas Dujovne has stepped down after last week's currency and stock market disaster.  It started a week ago with the Argentinian people dealt neo-liberal President Mauricio Macri a resounding defeat in the primary election, sending the Leftist team of Alberto Fernandez and former president Cristina Fernandez de Kircher to the top for the next round in October.  Then, the Argentinian stock exchange drooped and the peso shed 20 percent of its value against the US dollar.  Dujovne will be replaced by Buenos Aires province economy minister Hernan Lacunza, another champion of Macri's failed austerity policies that the country is rejecting.

Fire raced through thousands of shanties in Dhaka, Bangladesh, leaving at least 10,000 people homeless.  Many have been able to obtain temporary shelter in area schools.  The fire started while the residents, predominately garment workers in the country's textile sector, were celebrating the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha and were not home.  So far, it appears no one died.

Meanwhile, 4,000 people had to evacuate from a giant bush fire in Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands.
